Cucumber and Green Tea Martini

Salt? A pinch of salt brightens and intensifies those rain fresh just picked tea, basil and cucumber notes. Just a hint of ginger and those lemon cream notes of Belvedere Citrus give us garden fresh martini.

2 inch piece of cucumber
Dash simple syrup
Dash lemon juice
25ml green tea
Piece of fresh ginger
2 basil leaves
Small pinch of Maldon Sea Salt

Muddle cucumber and ginger with a pinch of salt and simple syrup. Add the rest of the ingredients and shake with cubed ice. Finely strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a thin slice of cucumber.
